Michael Shermer o vjerovanju u čudne stvari

Zašto ljudi vide Djevicu Mariju na sendviču od sira ili čuju đavolje riječi pjesme "Stepenice prema raju (Stairway to Heaven)?" Koristeći video i glazbu, skeptični Michael Shermer pokazuje kako mi uvjeravamo sebe da vjerujemo -- i previđamo činjenice.

The infamous $900 Quadro 2000 Dowser Rod, sold to schools to find marijuana, worked no better than a coin flip.
